Treatment methods

Shockwave – acting on the nerve end receptors, it alleviates the pain. Wave strikes cause changes in the cells to which they are applied. In the case of a tennis player’s elbow, shock waves treat the degenerated tendon fragments.

Other forms of physiotherapy – these are individually selected and include: magnetotherapy, laser therapy, local cryotherapy and ultrasound (phonophoresis).
